As a professional photographer, my career spans more than fifteen years. My early works show the influence of famous photographers such as Edward Weston, Paul Strand, August Sander, and Robert Frank. They not only inspired me immensely but also led me to strive for excellence.

Edward Weston said, "The camera should be used for a recording of life, for rendering the very substance and quintessence of the thing itself, whether it be polished steel or palpitating flesh." It is also my guiding principle. I believe the only way to find the unusual side of real life is to explore the world by the simplest and most direct method. I believe in the value and power of the natural world because everything around us, great or small, is the creation of the All Mighty.

Nowadays, I like to use cameras of 4"×5" in. or 6×4.5cm, mostly for B&W pictures. In most cases I could produce an excellent negative. Nearly all the pictures on this web site are produced from the original negative.

I realize that  my experience in taking pictures with large-size-film is relatively limited but I am determined to keep my work and improve my skill in the days to come. I look forward to communicating with other professional B&W photographers around the world through this web site. As I witness China's rise and record the unprecedented changes in China, I would be very happy to share my experience with fellow photographers who are interested in this regard. 

Thanks for visiting my web site and I look forward to hearing from you.
